i-ite this . ;?Ail the proceeds of the
,500,000 acrs of land tp which the
State bIjeyBii,iIc4 by the provisions of
n act of Congress, entitled an act to
appropriate the proceeds of the sales of
jEe public lands and to grant ptc-emp-ioo

the Union (if Congress shall consent to
,such appropriation ,of the two grants
last mentioned), shall be set apart as a
..separate and irreducible school fund, to
be called' the common school fund
jNow, let it be understood that the two
grants mentioned above were both do
nated to the State, for the special pur
Koof,. internal improvement. Our
(Constitution, of which the above pro'
vision formed a part, was presented to j
Congress, and Oregon was admitted in
o4the Union under and with that Con
stitution. Now, in the act of Congress
.admitting the ' Stale ; into the Union,
hey My: 'TVhcrSs, the people of
Oregon have framed, ratified, and adopt
,ed a Constitution of State government,
which is Republican in form, and in
nfomhy with the Constitution of the
pjnited States, and have opp'ied for ad
nission into the Union on an equal
ootir yitjj fte other States, therefore
ike it enacted, that Oregon be, and she
jg , h,erejby receUred into the Union."
tWhold that if Congress had stopped

.complete ; but,. we are not left here to
jayikGongress expressed their assent

derstood, for in the act of admission.
section four, they ask the people of Or
' pgon to consent by a resolution irrevo
;able, that the five -per centum above
.referred to, and which is made by the
tct of Congress a part of, the internal
improvement fund, shall bo diverted
from the purpose to which it has been
applied by the Constitution of Oregon,
and ast epte.d to by Congress in the. act
,of admission), hacjc to the purpose for
IPhich it originally applied by the said
Sct .Congress, or, in the language of
e act itself, "for 4he purpose of rnak
Irig public rbadl ano! . internal ienprove
anen ts, as, the Legigja lure in ay direct."
And the aci furtKer provides that the
4 t8totc of Oregon shall not consent that
jthe five per centum be appropriated to
public roads and internalliiipiovemcnts,
xcept upoi tic .expreHScondition that
he fetato of Orpon wbhall never inter
fero .-with; the primary disposal of the
- fq tax the property of noa-rcsidents
higher than that of residents, or tax
tho lauds or properly of the Uuited
States within said State,
r Ve held that Coogrcss has, in the
act iff admission, expressly consented,
and that thero is no power m the Leg
islature of Oregon to divert thisTcou
uionichool fuud and use it for any oth
er purpose ; and we have too much faith
In the ability of Governor: G rover as a
lawyer to believe that he 'would enter?
tain the proposition, for' pno tuomenf
now to divert this fund to; internal im
provements; and wo are ialso satisfied
that if such a bill should ! pass, and bo
signed by the Executive, jthe Supreme
Court of Oregon, would not hesitate to
dectare it , unconstitutional, and in so
doing they would only declare the law.
'But U is "said, by Hon gentlemen, that
we have no evidence that the proceeds
of the 500.000 acres of land has ever
been recognized as belonging to the
school fuud of Oregon. JIow strange
the idea? It is a sufficient answer to
say that it has never been recognized
by tho peoplo of Oregon; as belonging
to any other fund, and hero is the evi
dence ; The Governor of the State has
gone on, by. the authority jested in him
for that purpose, and selected the said
lands. For what purpose, internal im
provetnents? No; lut for school pur
poses alone. He has sent on thoso se
lections to the Property Department or
the General Government for acceptance,
and they have been accepted as selec
tions j for sehool purposes only; they
have been so designated upon the platts
and so returned to the local Land Of
fices in the State, of Oregon, where
they have been recognised as school
lands only, and designated upon the
platts there as such, and a portion of
them has absolutely been sold as school
land by the proper authority, aud the
money applied for that purpose ; and
yet the gentlemen have no evidence be
fore their, eyes that the$c land have
been rtconized as school jlaads. What
a remarkable ago of progress is tbia?
If the original act apprbpriating the
500,000 acres and the five per, centum
i
stand unrepealed, as is contended by
certain gentlemen, then what was the
necessity for Congress to ask the peo-,
pie of Oregon to consent that the five
per centum might be applied to the
making of public roads jand internal
improvements? But the fever is on,
and the morjry must b gobbled up.
And how is itito be done ? Two hun
dred thousand for locks on the west
side of the riv
cr at Oregon City; and
who gets tht
benefit? j A company
formed for thJt purpose?! We refrain
from giving (names. And the n one
tweuty-fivet thousand to
tho P. T. Company, to build locks on
the cast side of the river, at the same
place. And who is to-bci benefitted by
this? We answer, the company only.
True they promise in the bill that they
will not charge, for the first ten years.
more than twenty cents per ton (mcas
urement) for freight passing through
the locks. What a benign promise
that is to the people' of Oregon ? But
the bill binds the State to pay to the
company fifty per centum of the amount
expended , each year by the company.
And how is that fact to be ascertained ?
By the appointment of persoua for that
purpose on the jiart of the State? And
they can only ascertain, of course, by
an examination of tho books of the
company, and, of course, it is not to be
presumed that those books will ever
show one dollar more than has actually
bcerf 'expended by the .company ; tbn
these men report to the j Governor, and
he orders the money drawn from .the
Treasury of the State for tho benefit of
this company, and if there is nolnoney
on hand to reimburse this company for
erecting their own work, then, by the
provisions of the bill, warrants must be
drawn instanter upon tho Treasurer for
the I amount, and thoso jwarrants are to
draw ten per cent, iutcrest in gold coin
until the money shall bo in the Trcas
uy) and the people are to pay this in
teresfe fbrthc benefit ofl this company,
whose necessities demand it. Then
there is seventy-nine thousand dollars
to bo appropriated to! pay somebody
their expenses' while rusticating in the
Cascade Mountains during the summer
seasons. As to what disposition is to
be made of thebalance of the school
money, as yet, has not een thrown to
the surface ; but we hear whisperings
intimating that it will probably become
necessary v to donate the balance c
!.' . ' '
about one and u half millions to Holla
day and Loryea. 'But' we ? had almost
forgotten, in justice to the P. T. Corn
pan', to say that the bill which asks' a
donation to them has another"very be
nign provision, which is that, at the ex.
piration of twenty .years from the" com
pletion of the locks, the State may
take them as their own proper by
paying to the company the actual value
thereof. ! How liberal I Let the pco
pie of Oregon look well to their school
fund, and say to their servants by pe
tition or otherwise, you shall not divert
it to any other use. ; i 1(
An Ituporunt Decision.
We call the attention of bur readers,
and of the legal profession especially,
to the late decision of the Supreme
Court of Michigan on' the taxing1 pow
er. It will be found on page 487 of
the Law Register, in the August num
bcr of the present year, . , ;
The Legislature of tho State of
Michigan, in 1801, passed an act au
thorizing certain townships to pledge
their credit to aid inftho,ccnstruction of
certain jilrcads. The electors of the
townships were authorized to hold meet
ings to determine what amount should
be raised fur this purpose, aud the form,
mode of issuing, and other particulars
relating to the securities by which the
credit was to be given. .
Under this act, the township of Sa
lem voted aid to the Detroit and How
ell ltailroad Company, to the" extent of
five per centum of its assessed valua
tion. But the Township Board refused
to usue the securities, claimiug that
the act of 1 604 was in excess of legis
lative authority, and therefore, uncon
stitutional and void, and that the town
ship vote was, in consequence, a nul
lity. The cause fir ally- went into the
Supreme Court, on a motion for a writ
of mandamus, to compels the delivery
of the securities. I
The decision of the Court was ren
dered by Judge Bool y, in one of the
ablest opinions we have ever read on
that subject, sustaining the decision of
the . Township Board and ;dt nving the
writ, t This decision is particularlxaihr
teres ting to us at this time, on account
of the exertions that have been and
are being made by monopolists to evade
the prohibitory clause in the " Constitu
tion of Oregon, and securcjthe parage
of a similar act by our - own Legiala-
ture. I ;
On this subject the . Oceyoniiu. of
Sept. 20th, under the head of "West
Sidj Bailroad Again," savs : 4The
Constitution provides explicitly that no
aid shall be granted by any county or
municipality to any company or corpor
ation, for any purpose whatever. Now
it seems to us that the case might be
reached in this way: The Legislature
has power to authorize the city to in-
rm mm
crease its lndclitcunes. lhis bun;:
done, measures may jc taken to obvi
ate the constitutional impe'dirnent by
granting directly to 31 r. Ilolladay the
aid affoidcd, on condition that he will
cause the road to bo buiit wholly on
this side of the river, with its terminus
in Porthmd. In this way tle objection
against the granting of aid to a com-
pany or corporation might, j we think,
be avoided." 1
That is, according to the Orfgoniant
by evading an "explicit" provision of
the Constitution the tax payers of Port
land can bo robbed out of a few hun
dred thousand dollars for the bcucfit of
Mr. llolladay. . , . J '
I Such an act, outside of any prohibit
ory clause in the Constitution, says the
Supreme Court of Michigan, "is in cx
cess of .legislative authority, and there
fore void." And we entertain no fears
but that, should a case arise, tho courts
of Oregou, like those of Michigan, will
have the courage to make a correct de
cision, though it bo apparently unpop
ular. . u.-ur?--i 'U.
If the people of Portland desire a
road, with the terminus there, let those
who are able and feel an interest in tho
matter, subscribe liberally for the ben
cfit of the road. We aro as much in
favor of a West Side Sailroad as the
Oregoniant but we are notiin favor of
levying a tax on the people, without
authority of law, for the' benefit of a
railroad monopolist.

A Lie Nailed.
When you hear a man say that a
newspaper cannot be run without mop
ey, you can, without fear of successful
contradiction, pronounce him an unmit
igated falsifier. We know whereof, we
speak, for we have tried it. . ' We have
run a newspaper 'for several months,
andwith pardonable pride we may
say a very good one, without receiving
anything of consequence from our sub
scribers. Wo have tried the experi
ment of running a newspaper without
money with sufficient success to satisfy
us that the thing can be done ; and if
any one else is not nati&ficd with the re
sult of our experiment, let him try it,
and our word for it, he will bo satisfied
ini)ue-half .the time it has taken us to
demonstrate it. ;
We once read of a man who , spent
several weeksln learning his horse to
do without food, butwhen his care and
labor Was about to be crowned with suc
cess,- the ltorse, from some unaccount
able cau?e, lay down and died. Wre
have always had an idea that the man
carried his experiment a little too far.
Now that is not the case with our pa
per, and we do jiot intend that it shall
be. We don't intend to carry the thing
quite that far. Therefore we. want
money. Mind we do not say that we
cannot run a newspaper without mon
ey, for we have just demonstrated the
fact that we can. But we arc not go-
ing to, because it docs not pay; and
then, we think we can make a great
deal better paper with money than with
out it. And while we aro experiment
ing would like to give it a trial. Pay
your subscription and we will give you
a good paper.
